SPONSOR: Riley

This bill requires the Division of Probation and Parole to forward the terms and conditions of an offender's probation or parole to the Missouri State Highway Patrol within five business days of an offender's release from custody of the Department of Corrections and entry into supervision by the Division.

The terms and conditions of an offender's probation or parole will be recorded in the Missouri Uniform Law Enforcement System (MULES).

The bill also allows a probation or parole officer or a law enforcement officer to arrest a probationer or parolee without a warrant if the a condition of the person's probation or parole is violated in the presence of the arresting officer.

The officer will have 24 hours following the arrest to notify the Board of Probation and Parole of the arrest. The probationer or parolee may be detained until they are brought before the court for a preliminary hearing on the violation.
